Resources for a growing factory
Choose from 6–24 GB RAM and 2–8 vCPU. We recommend starting with 8–16 GB RAM and 4–6 vCPU, then checking resource use as your factory and automation expand.
Game server hosting
Build your Satisfactory factory together
Give your group a dedicated Satisfactory server, so everyone can return to the same factory without relying on one player to host. Choose resources for your build, then manage settings, saves, and branches as the factory expands.
- Start with 8–16 GB RAM and 4–6 vCPU guidance
- Dedicated IP for Satisfactory connection ports
- See credit estimates for resources, storage, and IP costs
- Manage settings, branches, saves, and owner mod tools
Why host with MaximusHost?
Dedicated IP for your factory
MaximusHost routes Satisfactory game traffic on port 7777 and its server API on port 8888. A dedicated IP gives these ports an address for your server so they can be routed without conflicts. It is for network connections, not server performance.
Manage your factory server
Check status and logs, adjust server options, choose a game branch, and work with saves from your Satisfactory dashboard.
Owner tools for mods
Owners can use Satisfactory Mod Manager with MaximusHost server file access. Keep the game, branch, mod, and client versions compatible.
How it works
- Choose your game and resources. Pick Satisfactory and choose RAM and CPU for the way you plan to play.
- Set up your server. Choose the options for your game and review the one-time creation fee before you confirm.
- Start and connect. When your server is ready, start it from your account and share the connection details with your group.
- Manage it as you play. Use your MaximusHost dashboard to check server status and manage its settings and tools.
Estimate your hosting cost
See a Standard-account estimate in credits based on RAM, CPU, storage, and expected running time. If your game needs a dedicated IP, its estimated charge is included too. Stopped-server charges can vary by account, including whether a dedicated IP remains assigned. Review Billing and Credits for details. Setup also shows the one-time 50-credit server creation fee.
Choose a game to apply its recommended resources.
Custom estimate: choose whether a dedicated IP is required.

Plan for the factory you are building
Production lines, automation, vehicles, explored areas, and active players all affect resource use. Start with the recommended range, then review live readings during a typical session.
Keep your group on the same branch
After creating your server, choose Public or Experimental in its management settings. Everyone joining needs a compatible branch and game build, especially after updates.
Protect your factory progress
Make a manual save before major settings, branch, or mod changes. Test the change with your group before building on the new setup.

Frequently asked questions
What resources should I choose for my first factory?
We recommend 8–16 GB RAM and 4–6 vCPU, within a setup range of 6–24 GB RAM and 2–8 vCPU. Factory size, automation, and player activity all shape demand, so check live usage as your build grows.
Why does my Satisfactory server need a dedicated IP?
MaximusHost uses port 7777 for Satisfactory game traffic and port 8888 for the server API. A dedicated IP gives your server its own address for those port connections. It is for networking rather than server performance.
How is the dedicated-IP charge handled?
Your estimate includes an IP charge when it applies. Whether that address remains billable while the server is stopped depends on your account and whether the allocation stays assigned; see Billing and Credits for details.
Which game branch should my group choose?
After creation, choose Public for players on the regular release or Experimental when everyone uses a compatible Experimental build. Change the branch in your Satisfactory server management settings; players and server need matching branches and versions.
Can I change resources as the factory grows?
Yes. Review RAM and CPU use during a normal factory session, then adjust resources from your server controls if the workload calls for it.
What happens when nobody is connected?
Satisfactory has an Auto pause when empty setting. When it is enabled, the game pauses factory simulation after players disconnect; when it is off, simulation can continue while the server is running. MaximusHost scheduling can start or stop the server separately. Check both settings before planning unattended production.
Can I manage saves and mods?
You can make manual saves before major changes, and server owners can use Satisfactory Mod Manager with server file access. Match game, branch, mod, and client versions before inviting the group back.
